Last week, the entertaining Gene Stilps cast a public spotlight on more than $3 million in "meritorious bonus payments" that House and Senate leaders handed to staff over the past two years. He sued the bastards.
Now, thanks to publicity prompted by that lawsuit and VoicePA, we know "at least $44,000 in contributions to three Democratic campaign accounts came from those who got unreported bonuses in 2006."
This vindicates our American system, in which citizens have a constitutional right to challenge unresponsive government.
And so the battle rages.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Gene is just the kind of guy we need annoying those pompous bastards in HBurg
